Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for producing a continuous alumina fiber blanket. More particularly, it relates to a process for producing a continuous alumina fiber blanket by subjecting an alumina fiber precursor formed from a spinning solution containing an aluminum compound to a heat treatment by using a specific high-temperature furnace.
- Continuous blankets (continuous sheets) of alumina fiber are used, by vacuum molding them, as various types of heat-resisting materials, for example, heat insulator or joint filler of high-temperature furnaces or high-temperature ducts, and retainer of catalyst converter for cleaning exhaust gas from internal combustion engines.
- a process is known in which a continuous sheet of alumina fiber precursor formed from a spinning solution containing an aluminum compound is supplied continuously to a high-temperature furnace and subjected to a heat treatment therein while being carried in one direction by a carrying mechanism such as conveyor disposed in the said high-temperature furnace.
- European Patent Application Laid-Open No. 971057 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open (KOKAI) No. 2000-80547 )).
- the alumina fiber precursor which is an aggregate of fine fibers, is conveyed at a constant speed, but since the alumina fiber precursor is shrunk by high-temperature heating, the fibers may be crushed by friction with the conveying mechanism when the fibers are shrunk.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its object is to provide a process for producing a continuous alumina fiber blanket by subjecting an alumina fiber precursor formed from a spinning solution containing an aluminum compound to a heat treatment, the produced blanket being improved in that the crush of fibers is lessened and the blanket is made homogeneous throughout.
- an aspect of the present invention is to provide a process for producing a continuous alumina fiber blanket which process comprises continuously supplying into a high-temperature furnace a continuous sheet of alumina fiber precursor formed from a spinning solution containing an aluminum compound, and subjecting the sheet to heat treatment while conveying it in one direction by a conveying mechanism disposed in said high-temperature furnace, the speed of said conveying mechanism being reduced progressively in the direction of conveyance in correspondence to the rate of heat shrinkage of the continuous sheet of alumina fiber precursor.
- the continuous alumina fiber blanket producing process according to the present invention is basically the same as the process described in European Patent Application Laid-Open No. 971057 except for the method of heat treatment (calcination and crystallization) of the alumina fiber precursor.
- a continuous sheet of alumina fiber precursor formed from a spinning solution containing an aluminum compound is supplied continuously into a furnace and subjected to a heat treatment while it is conveyed in one direction by plural units of conveying mechanism disposed in the said furnace.
- alumina fiber precursor from a spinning solution can be accomplished according to a conventional method.
- a water-soluble organic polymer such as polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, starch, cellulose derivative or the like is added to the spinning solution.
- viscosity of the spinning solution is adjusted as required to be around 10 to 100 poises by concentration process.
- Formation of the alumina fiber precursor (fiber) from the spinning solution is performed by a blowing method in which the spinning solution is supplied into a high-speed spinning stream or a spindle method using a rotating plate.
- a blowing method in which the spinning solution is supplied into a high-speed spinning stream or a spindle method using a rotating plate.
- the blowing method is preferable as it is possible to form alumina fiber precursor (fibers) having a size of usually several ⁇ m and a length of several ten to several hundred mm, thus allowing formation of long fibers.
- a continuous sheet of the said alumina fiber precursor is usually formed by first forming thin-gage sheets by spinning by the said blowing method and then laminating these thin-gage sheets.
- an accumulation equipment of the structure in which a wire mesh endless belt is set substantially perpendicularly to the spinning stream, and with the endless belt being rotated, a spinning stream containing alumina fiber precursor (fibers) is let impinge against it.
- a continuous sheet (laminated sheet) of alumina fiber precursor is produced, for instance, by continuously delivering thin-gage sheets from the accumulation equipment, supplying them to a folding device whereby to fold the sheets to a predetermined width and stack them, and continuously moving the stacked sheets in the direction perpendicular to the folding direction. Thereby both ends of the thin-gage sheets in the width direction are positioned inside of the formed laminated sheet, so that the basis weight of the laminated sheet is uniformalized throughout the sheet.
- the basis weight of thin-gage sheet is usually 10 to 200 g/m 2 , preferably 30 to 100 g/m 2 .
- This thin-gage sheet may not necessarily be uniform in both of its width direction and longitudinal direction. Therefore, the laminated sheet is formed by stacking the thin-gage sheets in at least 5 layers, preferably not less than 8 layers, especially 10 to 80 layers. This can offset partial non-uniformity of the thin-gage sheets to ensure uniform basis weight throughout the laminated sheet.
- the said alumina fiber precursor laminated sheet is, calcined by a heat treatment at a temperature of usually not lower than 500°C, preferably 1,000 to 1,300°C, to make a laminated sheet of alumina fiber (alumina fiber blanket).
- alumina fiber blanket By conducting needling on the laminated sheet prior to the heat treatment, it is possible to make an alumina fiber sheet of high mechanical strength in which alumina fibers are oriented in the thickness direction.
- the rate of punching by needling is usually 1 to 50 punches per cm 2 , and generally, the higher the rate of punching, the larger the bulk density and peel strength of the alumina fiber sheet.
- the continuous sheet of alumina fiber precursor obtained in the manner described above is subjected to a specific heat treatment by using a specific high-temperature furnace. More specifically, the continuous sheet of alumina fiber precursor is heat treated while it is conveyed in one direction by a conveying mechanism disposed in a high-temperature furnace, wherein the speed of the said conveying mechanism is reduced progressively in the direction of conveyance in correspondence to the rate of heat shrinkage of the continuous sheet of alumina fiber precursor.
- the conveying speed of the conveying mechanism in the direction of conveyance in correspondence to the rate of heat shrinkage of the continuous sheet of alumina fiber precursor, it is ideal to reduce the conveying speed continuously in accordance with the rate of heat shrinkage, but actually the conveying speed may be reduced intermittently.
- the most simple method is to reduce the speed halfway in the course of conveyance.
- a method is exemplified in which supposing that the size of the sheet in the direction of conveyance (longitudinal direction) before shrinkage is x, the size after shrinkage is y, and the rate of shrinkage is expressed by ⁇ (x - y)/x ⁇ ⁇ 100, the conveying speed is reduced by about 10 to 30% at the stage where the final shrinkage rate is 30 to 70%. In case where the speed is reduced halfway in the course of conveyance, it is preferable that speed reduction be made stepwise in correspondence to the rate of heat shrinkage.
- the speed of the said conveying mechanism is reduced in the direction of conveyance in correspondence to the rate of heat shrinkage of the continuous sheet of alumina fiber precursor.
- Switching of conveying speed in the said conveying mechanism may be decided by observing the rate of shrinkage, but usually such switching is preferably made at the stage where temperature in the furnace is 300 to 800°C, preferably 400 to 600°C.
- furnace shown in FIG. 1 is the one used for the heat treatment of a continuous sheet (W) of alumina fiber precursor (hereinafter referred to as "precursor") which is a fiber aggregate such as described above, and having a tunnel type furnace body (1).
- Furnace body (1) comprises a combination of framing made of a refractory metal such as stainless steel and walling (ceiling, flooring and side walling) composed of the same type of metal plates and provided with a refractory on the inner side.
- Furnace body (1) may be constituted by a combination of the said framing and walling made of a heat-resistant material such as refractory brick.
- the sectional shape (of the interior) of furnace body (1) vertical to the longitudinal direction of the furnace can be selected from various forms such as square, circular, oval, dome-like in the upper half, etc., by taking into consideration such factors as thermal efficiency, form of the precursor and its strength.
- the length of furnace body (1) is variable depending on the schemed time of treatment and conveying speed of the conveying mechanism described later, but generally it is about 20 to 100 meters.
- the rear treating chamber (roughly the rear half portion) (12) of furnace body (1) along the furnace length has a structure in which, when viewed sidewise, the ceiling section bulges out in comparison with the front treating chamber (roughly the first half portion) (11) of the furnace, that is, the rear treating chamber (12) has a structure whose ceiling height is high as compared with the front treating chamber (11).
- the rear treating chamber (12) of furnace body (1) by constructing the rear treating chamber (12) of furnace body (1) to have a structure whose ceiling height is higher, it becomes possible to let high-temperature gas stay in this chamber and to set the temperature of rear treating chamber (12) at a higher temperature by a heating mechanism described later.
- a higher temperature is set along the length of the furnace, that is, rear treating chamber (12) is set at a higher temperature than front treating chamber (11), by means of the above-described structure of furnace body (1) and the heating mechanism described later.
- burners (4) are disposed in rear treating chamber (12) of furnace body (1). Burners (4) are placed in both side walls, ceiling and floor of furnace body (1) so that precursor (W) on roller conveyor (3) described later will be heated from both upper and lower sides.
- Each burner (4) is designed to supply combustion gas from a gas feeder (not shown) at a prescribed rate, while combustion air is supplied from a blower (not shown) at a prescribed rate.
- the heating means there can be used, beside the direct firing burners such as mentioned above, indirect heating means such as radiant tubes or electric theaters.
- air nozzles (5) designed to supply air and to adjust the interior temperature at the middle of furnace body (1).
- air is supplied at a prescribed rate from an outside blower (not shown).
- front treating chamber (11) of furnace body (1) several exhaust pipes (7) for discharging combustion exhaust gas from the inside of the furnace are provided in the ceiling. Exhaust pipes (7) are connected to an exhaust fan (not shown) provided outside of the furnace.
- air blowing nozzles (8) for adjusting the furnace interior temperature in front treating chamber (11) may be provided adjacent to the respective exhaust pipes (7).
- a cooling air nozzle (6) for supplying air and maintaining the temperature in the furnace at its outlet portion at a low temperature.
- room temperature air is supplied at a prescribed rate through an outside fan (not shown).
- a conveying mechanism for conveying the said precursor (W) from the inlet to the outlet of the furnace body along its length is passed through the furnace.
- a conveying mechanism generally a refractory roller conveyor is preferably used in view of the requirements that the said mechanism must be made of a material which can withstand high temperature of around 1,000°C, that the mechanism must have a structural form which allows smooth release of water vapor and gasses generated from the continuous sheet, and that the mechanism must have a structure easily adaptable in the furnace body.
- the precursor (W) such as the said alumina fiber precursor has the problem that before it is sufficiently heat treated, the fiber itself is sensitive to water and absorbs ambient moisture to become sticky and also the fibers are turned into nappy loops by the action of the organic polymers such as polyvinyl alcohol and become liable to get caught by the rotating bodies such as rollers.
- the alumina fiber precursor has the nature that it tends to shrink as a whole although the fiber ends are turned into a relatively stretched state as a result of the high-temperature heat treatment (calcination).
- the said conveying mechanism comprises a metal mesh conveyor (2) disposed in the front treating chamber (11) and a refractory porcelain-made roll conveyor (3) disposed in the rear treating chamber (12).
- metal mesh conveyor (2) there is used a stainless steel conveyor having a mesh belt comprising ribs with a wire size of about 2 mm disposed at a pitch of approximately 16 mm and spiral wires with a size of about 2 mm disposed at a pitch of approximately 10 mm.
- Metal mesh conveyor (2) is wound round the tension rollers provided inside and outside of furnace body (1) so that it can enter furnace body (1) from its inlet and extend to a roughly central part of furnace body (1), then is led downwardly of the central part of furnace body (1) and passes beneath the floor of furnace body (1) to circulate back to the inlet of furnace body (1).
- metal mesh conveyor (2) is usually driven by a motor set outside of furnace body (1) through driving rollers disposed at the inlet section or under the floor of furnace body (1).
- a refractory porcelain conveyor is used as roller conveyor (3).
- Mullite can be cited as an example of refractory porcelain composing such a conveyor.
- the diameter of roller conveyor (3) is specified to be 25 to 40 mm in view of the area of contact with precursor (W), slipperiness and other factors. The reason why the diameter of roller conveyor (3) is defined in the above range is as explained below.
- roller diameter of roller conveyor (3) is set to be less than 20 mm, the roller itself becomes liable to bend when heated and also surface bend is enlarged to promote entanglement of fibers, making the conveyor liable to hitch and also causing a possibility of crush of fibers.
- roller diameter is made greater than 40 mm, the conveying force for the fiber aggregate (W) is lowered since the pitch of wire arrangement is enlarged.
- strength of the side wall of furnace body (1) may drop.
- roller conveyor (3) is usually driven by a motor set outside of furnace body (1) through chains passed round the sprockets of arbors projecting from the side of furnace body (1).
- calcination of precursor (W) is carried out by subjecting the precursor to a heat treatment while conveying it in one direction by the conveying mechanism disposed in the furnace, viz. the said metal mesh conveyor (2) (punching metal sheet conveyor) and roller conveyor (3).
- the conveying mechanism disposed in the furnace, viz. the said metal mesh conveyor (2) (punching metal sheet conveyor) and roller conveyor (3).
- the greatest feature of the present invention resides in that in order to prevent fiber crush during conveyance of precursor (W) with even more certainty, the speed of each unit of the said conveying mechanism is reduced progressively in the direction of conveyance in correspondence to the rate of heat shrinkage of precursor (W).
- the conveying speed of roller conveyor (3) is set at a lower level than that of metal mesh conveyor (2). More specifically, the rate of heat shrinkage (rate of shrinkage in length) of precursor (W), though variable depending on the composition, is, for instance, about 20 to 30%. So, in the said furnace, the conveying speed of roller conveyor (3) is set at, for instance, 60 to 80% of that of metal mesh conveyor (2) in correspondence to the rate of heat shrinkage of precursor (W).
- the average conveying speed of the said conveying mechanism as a whole is decided by the time of treatment and the furnace length, but for instance the conveying speed of metal mesh conveyor (2) is set at around 50 to 500 mm/min and the conveying speed of roller conveyor (3) is set at around 35 to 350 mm/min.
- roller conveyor (3) may be dividend into plural stages.
- roller conveyor (3) may consist of 4 sets of unit conveyor arranged successively.
- the conveying speeds of the respective units of roller conveyor may be set, for instance, at 85%, 80%, 75% and 70%, respectively, of the conveying speed of metal mesh conveyor (2), as viewed from the upstream side, whereby it is possible to prevent fiber crush with even more certainty.
- the heat treatment (calcination) of precursor in the present invention is as explained above. That is, in the furnace shown in the drawing, for instance, preliminary heating is carried out at a temperature below 500°C in the front treating chamber (11), and then heat treatment is further conducted at a temperature of not lower than 500°C, up to 1,250°C, in the rear treating chamber (12) (see FIG. 1 (b)).
- wire mesh conveyor (2) composing the conveying mechanism of the front treating chamber (11) supports the supplied precursor (W) at many points, making it possible to lessen the area of contact with precursor (W). Therefore, like the alumina fiber precursor at the start of supply, the fiber itself is sensitive to water and absorbs ambient moisture to become tacky, and even when precursor (W) with its fiber ends looped is treated with an organic polymer such as polyvinyl alcohol in the front treating chamber (11), it is possible to lessen hitch of fibers, and consequently, in the front treating chamber (11), it is possible to convey precursor (W) with certainty by metal mesh conveyor (2) without impairing the shape of precursor as a whole.
- the refractory porcelain-made roller conveyor (3) composing the conveying mechanism of this rear treating chamber (12) supports at the face the precursor (W) sent from front treating chamber (11) and displays a proper degree of slipperiness. Therefore, even when precursor (W), in which the organic polymer has been heated and the fiber ends have been carbonized and stretched by the treatment in front treating chamber (11), and which also has high shrinkability, is treated in rear treating chamber (12), there takes place little hitch of fibers. Consequently, in rear treating chamber (12), precursor (W) can be conveyed for sure by roller conveyor (3) without impairing its shape as a whole.
- the conveying speed of roller conveyor (3) is preset in correspondence to the drop of moving speed of precursor (W) by shrinkage, so that it is possible to reduce friction between precursor (W) and roller conveyor (3) and to prevent fiber crush in precursor (W) with certainty. Therefore, according to the production process of the present invention using the said specific furnace, it is possible to produce homogeneous and high-strength alumina fiber blankets which are free of crushed fibers.
- alumina accounts for 65 to 97% by weight of the composition and the rest is silica.
- fiber of a mullite composition with 72 to 85% by weight of alumina excels in high-temperature stability and resiliency and is preferable alumina fiber.
- Crystalline alumina fiber excels in heat resistance and is very limited in heat deterioration such as softening or shrinkage as compared with non-crystalline ceramic fiber of the same alumina-silica system. That is, crystalline alumina fiber has the properties that it can generate a strong restoring force with a low bulk density and is minimized in change with temperature.
- the high-temperature furnace shown in FIG. 1 is not limited in its application to the production of alumina fiber blankets but can also be applied to the aggregates of other inorganic fibers obtained by the same production method as used for alumina precursor fiber.
- the spinning stream containing the formed alumina fiber precursor was let impinge against a wire mesh endless belt and the alumina fiber precursor was collected to obtain a 1,050 mm wide thin-layer sheet with a basis weight of about 40 g/m 2 , which was relatively non-uniform and had the alumina fiber precursor arranged randomly in the plane.
- This thin-layer sheet was folded and stacked according to the method described in European Patent Application Laid-Open No. 971057 to obtain a 950 mm wide continuous laminated sheet of alumina fiber precursor comprising 30 layers of thin-layer sheet.
- This laminated sheet was subjected to needling at a rate of 5 punches/cm 2 to mold the sheet into a thickness of 15 mm and a bulk density of 0.08 g/cm 3 .
- the alumina fiber precursor sheet (laminated sheet) was subjected to a heat treatment (calcination) in the following way. That is, the alumina fiber precursor sheet delivered from the folding apparatus was supplied onto metal mesh conveyor (2) and subjected to a 1.5-hour heat treatment at 100 to 500°C in front treating chamber (11). The conveying speed of metal mesh conveyor (2) was 300 mm/min. Then the sheet was transferred from metal mesh conveyor (2) to roller conveyor (3) and subjected to a 1.5-hour heat treatment at 500 to 1,250°C and further to a 0.5-hour heat treatment at 1,250°C in rear treating chamber (12). The conveying speed of roller conveyor (3) was 210 mm/min. The relation of the rate of shrinkage and conveying speed ratio to the temperature distribution in the furnace in the heat treatment of the continuous sheet of alumina fiber precursor in Example 1 is as shown in the graph of FIG. 2.
- An alumina fiber blanket was produced continuously by conducting the same operations as in Example 1 except that roller conveyor (3) of the conveying mechanism of the high-temperature furnace consisted of 4 units of conveyor, and that the conveying speeds of the respective units of conveyor were set at 85%, 80%, 75% and 70%, respectively, of the conveying speed of metal mesh conveyor (2), that is, at 255 mm/min, 240 mm/min, 225 mm/min and 210 mm/min, respectively, from the upstream side of conveyor.
- the relation of the rate of shrinkage of the continuous sheet and conveying speed ratio to the temperature distribution in the furnace in the heat treatment of the continuous sheet of alumina fiber precursor in Example 2 is as shown in the graph of FIG. 2.
- no fiber crush was confirmed as shown in Table 1.
- An alumina fiber blanket was produced continuously by conducting the same operations as in Example 1 except that in the heat treatment (calcination) of the thin-layer sheet, the speed of the conveying mechanism of the high-temperature furnace was not reduced progressively in the direction of conveyance but kept constant.
- the relation of the rate of shrinkage of the continuous sheet and conveying speed ratio to the temperature distribution in the furnace in the heat treatment of the continuous sheet of alumina fiber precursor in Comparative Example 1 is as shown in the graph of FIG. 2.
- fiber crush was confirmed at four locations in the 20-meter length of the blanket as shown in Table 1.
- the conveying speed of the.conveying mechanism is preset in correspondence to the drop of the moving speed of the alumina fiber precursor sheet caused by its shrinkage, so that it is possible to lessen friction between the alumina fiber precursor sheet and the conveying means, and to positively prevent fiber crush in the sheet, making it possible to produce the homogeneous, higher-strength alumina fiber blankets which are free of crushed fibers.
- each conveyor in the front and rear treating chambers remains safe from catching or hitching fibers in the fiber aggregates such as alumina fiber precursor to allow smooth and secure conveyance of the fiber aggregates, so that the heat treatment can be conducted more smoothly without impairing the initial shape of the fiber aggregates, and further, since the fibers in the fiber aggregates are never crushed, homogeneity and sufficient strength are ensured for the fiber aggregates such as alumina fiber blankets as the obtained product.
- the process for producing continuous blankets of alumina fibers according to the present invention is useful for the production of continuous blankets used as various types of heat-resistant materials such as heat insulators or joint fillers for high-temperature furnaces or high-temperature ducts, or as retainer of catalyst converters for cleaning exhaust gas from internal combustion engines. Also, as it is possible to surely prevent fiber crush in the alumina fiber precursor in conducting heat treatment of a continuous sheet of alumina fiber precursor in a high-temperature furnace, the process of the present invention is suited for producing homogeneous and higher-strength alumina fiber blankets.
